I want to thank everyone for their kindness in their concerns for Barbara and me for our loss of our family pet, Piper, this last Saturday. He was a wonderful little Sheltie who was our friend and companion for nearly fourteen years.

God choose to smile on us in that we were blessed yesterday to welcome our first grandchild, William David Lucht, into the world on my birthday. My daughter, Jessica and her husband Brad, are the parents of a 9 pound little boy. Thanks be to God!

Grace and peace,

Joel+
